Thank you j.

Sry to take this OT for a bit, but 14/15 wraps sounds rediculous. Would one get good performance here? It doesn't have to be dead on 1 ohm read, just in the neighborhood.

I'm running 2 strands of 32ga twisted. 6 wraps (iirc, i haven't had it apart in a while) gives me right around 0.6Ω for the coil and about 0.7Ω overall (because of the relatively long leads).

Works great and no dry hits.

1) As Dems stated, the AFC is well suited to fine tune the Phen-Lite to any type of draw. You can fix it from "0" to an over "3mm'' draw and anything in between. So yes, you'll be fine doing MTLs with the Phen-Lite.

2) For a different look that 'full poly tank' is fine. I however, like the "SS and Poly combo" for two reasons: (1)It gives a li'l more sturdiness to the system - the SS AFC ring grabbing the Phen-Lite's base stronger than the Poly does. And (2)It looks great! The bottom AFC SS ring evens out the top SS ring of the fill ports - and this bottom SS ring also has the GUS logo and the Crown etched on it - which looks classy. BTW, for a full poly tank the Phen-Lite Bell Tank is a beautiful option!

3) I can't response to that since I don't own a Zest. AAF should be able to answer it better since she rocks it exactly that way I believe ~ Zest base with a Phen-Lite upper.
Thanks Q! I'll be ordering very soon and spending way too much money Haha.

Just kind of mulling over drip tips at the moment... So many amazing options to choose from!

As a heads up, the sixteen DT is pretty short, I got it with the Zest. It was just too short for me personally, so something to think about. If you like a short DT it's probably the one to get though.

I grabbed a couple TEL DT with my last order and have been rocking them on the Lite and Aiolos, they are nice and long, and fell great and look great.

There is another one that looks kinda like the sixteen but is longer, so if the sixteen is appealing but you want something longer, badabing.

Then, there are a Tom others that match Lord or Kiss finishes, and then some other cool looking ones...lots to choose from indeed.

Awesome. Thanks! And the sixteen is actually the one I'm looking the most forward to. Also looking at the golf queen one, and the LL Gus and Lord V1 high on the list. Then the golf trophy is in the cart as well.. Gotta cut it down as my cart is around $200 Euros! Haha.

Yeah - I'm kind of the opposite, where I like short tips to cut down on the overall length of my device. I usually roll with a Provari, but sometimes a dna30 or rDNA 40.

In that case, you'll really like the sixteen methinks

So I said yesterday that I was running 32ga twisted coils.

Well, my button stuck late in the day yesterday (aiolos, that's my only complaint, it's very, very difficult to clean the switch if you don't have the tools to take it apart) and toasted my wicks.

The 32ga twisted was a little too flimsy for my liking. When you dry burn them they tend to distort and move. So I decided to wrap with 28ga. Did 8 wraps of 28ga kanthal A1 on a 1/16" mandrel. Comes out to about 0.35Ω. That's the way to wrap it, in my opinion. Don't know why I messed around with twisted 32. Well, I do. I thought 8 wraps would be too big in the atty, but it seems perfect.

Happy days! It was very speedy shipping - shipped Tuesday, delivered in Sydney late Friday afternoon. They're beautiful, thank you aiolos :)

Love the finish on that GUS22. I love how the button is brushed too. I might have to request a brushed top cap and switch.

Which model is that? Is it a telescopic and if it is, what size mode is it in? Gorgeous.

It's telescopic, still in 18350 mode: GUS Lord Telescopic mod bb/whs airflow [A00-5C110] - €105.00 : Gus-mod&more...!, An idea made material

I suspect in use I will have it in 18500 mode, as it's not much bigger. I'm not usually a fan of telescopic mods, but who wouldn't love this:
